Food stages/phases and how much protein per day?

[jessicab526 13]

I was wondering what the stages/phases look like for different surgeons?
I was not required to do a pre-op diet just Clear Liquids the day before. I had my bypass on Wednesday. Feeling satisfied and not hungry just my brain missing my usual Snacks.
I am on a liquid/puree mix this week. I can have the usuals for liquids but I can also have yogurt, FF cream Soups and SF puddings.< br /> I bought Isopure unflavored whey Protein and add it to my Decaf coffee in the morning. Then a triple 0 yogurt for snack, another decaf coffee with whey protein, 1/4 pudding with whey protein, then another shake for dinner. I’m supposed to get another snack in but by then I’m so full! I have been getting between 60-70g protein per day, is that enough?
I am looking forward to more variety like scrambled eggs, chicken salad and cottage cheese but they aren’t added to my diet until after my 1st post op appt on Wednesday. Can’t wait!

Congrats on surgery. Did you have any meetings or discussions with your RD or doc about diet? Did they give you the doctor's diet plan? Where did you have surgery.

Thank you, I’m excited!
Yes of course they gave me a plan I was just curious what other people’s stages/phases timelines look like is all. My plan for week 1 is liquid/purée as I mentioned and I need 3 Snacks and 3 shakes I am trying to squeeze it all in but it’s tough. Just want to make sure I get all my nutrients in ya know? How far out from surgery are you?

I had my surgery on the 5th of October. I have had a hard time getting enough Protein in myself. Lately those Meal Replacement shakes have made me feel nauscious so I'm struggling there. My doctor said I can eat whatever my stomach can handle, but it is hard to get a lot of protein in if I dont drink the shakes. Still struggling to figure it all out.

If you can find them opt for a while the clear fruity Protein Drinks, my Wal-Mart seems 5o have deleted them. I mixed 6oz that, 6oz MinuteMaid 15 calorie fruit punch then filled bottle the rest of way with cold Water. Still fruity but not as strong.
